A statement from the Bank copied to the GNA said NIB received the award at a ceremony held in Kigali last week. The Bank received an A+ rating in the areas of governance, financial and operational standards. NIB was among 20 Best Performing Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) in Africa who were commended.

NIB is a universal bank and has been in existence for over fifty (50) years. The Bank focuses on providing financial support for indigenous Ghanaian companies. �This rating would spur the bank on to attain greater heights. He mentioned that, the Bank has embarked on organizational re-structuring to consolidate, and position itself as the best state owned bank in the country. In line with this, a number of branches would be opened this year to bring the bank closer to its customers�, Chief Executive Officer, Mr Ernest Mawuli Agbesi.
